Glad to have Rich back and ready to support any title with him in it! However, as a lifelong Rider fan...I've been damaged.

What could help?

I need to see the other characters like Spidey and Cap, acknowledge that they knew Rich was gone. And I'd like to hear their feelings about that. I need to see Peter Quill express unfaltering shame for accepting that Rich didn't make it back. I'd love to see the tension between them. I need to see someone like Nita openly not like Sam for (in her mind) trying to replace Rich. And finally, while I get the mentor angle, Rich can help Sam, but he doesn't need a younger brother in Sam, he already has Robbie. Rich was such a grounded character, he made mistakes, he owned up to them, and he always tried to do the right thing. I'd love to see him hold a grudge while he heals. Just my thoughts, in the end I'm just glad our buddy is back. Long Live Richard Rider!

--Previous Message-- : I was hoping they might've asked a few more : questions about the long term plan for Rich : in the series (to find out if they're : keeping it a Nova Corps series, or if Rich : will be leaving after a story arc), and to : get an answer about why the demotion in : Rich's rank. : : Other than that, it was a good interview. : The book sounds fun and interesting! Can't : wait! : : --Previous Message-- : : This reads very promising. I do actually : think the idea of a mentor/protege' thing : has a lot of potential story value. And : they are acknowledging Rich as a real power : player. : : Sam has always needed someone to teach him : how to be a hero. Rider's defining : characteristic is unbending and absolutely : focus on doing the right thing no matter : what the personal cost is. Who better to : teach Sam how to be a real hero? : : And Sam can maybe get Rich to loosen up here : and there --I can see a lot of humor with : Rich being gone and not knowing things Sam : takes for granted. : : : : --Previous Message-- : CBR had a new interview about the upcoming : series. I think it sounds really promising. : : : : : http://www.cbr.com/marvels-new-nova-series-unites-rich-rider-sam-alexander/: : : : :
